The restaurant site has been recognized as a califonia state Historical Landmark. The building was originally two seperate

structures. The northern section was originally the home of Miguel Yorba Adobe,

built in 1797. The souther half housed the Juzgado y Carcel (court and jail) and was

established in 1812.

The wall formin El Adobe’s cocktail lounge were part of the original Miguel Yorba Adobe.

The carcel is now a place for guests to enjoy their meals. The ground beneath the foyer

served as a passageway for Seeley and Wright stagecoaches, until the advent to the Santa Fe

railroad in 1888.

In 1910, Georgia Mott Vander-Leck bought and unified the properties for use as their

residence and store. Thirty-six years later she sold it to a visionary farmer from the Rancho

Mission Viejo, Mr. Clarence Brown. He built the El Adobe restaurant, which opened

auspiciously on July 8, 1948 with the wedding and reception of the First Commandant of Camp Pendleton, General Fagan. Yearly,

hundreds of couples continue the tradition as they marry in the garden-nestled Wedding

Chapel. During his administration, former President Richard Nixon enjoyed the Mexican

dishes prepared exclusively for him by El Adobe’s Chef. These dishes inspired El Adobe’s change from continental to Mexican Cuisine.

In 2003, Hatch Designs was contracted for the remodeling of El Adobe. The architectural elements of El Adobe de Capistrano artfully

reflect the history of both building and location. Antiques, furnishing, and décor

were all chosen to compliment the genuine Mexican-Californian ambiance. Included in

the renovations, El Adobe’s kitchen recieved a complete overhaul; and it incorporated a new

mesquite-burning grill and hood system, so that fresh steaks and seafood could be added to the menu. El Adobe is now owned and operated

by ranchers Tony Moiso, Gilbert Aguirre.

HAPPY HOUR

TEQUILASDELEON platinum| 10 reposado| 11 añejo| 12 diamanté| 15DeLeon Tequila is made from the finest 100% Highland Blue Weber agave sourced from the rich earth of the Los Altos redion of Jalisco. Hand-selected at harvest for the high quality and peak ripeness, our plants yield the sweetest piñas, giving the tequila its abundance character and balance. Slow roasting agave in traditional brick and clay ovens, combined with slow fermintation, under the precise guidance of our master distiller contribute enriched depth and complexity to the agave’s natural sweetness, creating remarkably nuanced character. DeLeon tequila achieves this astonishing depth of flavor in just two distillations - allowing the tequila to retain the unique character acquired during the fermentation process.

DON JULIO silver| 11 reposado| 12 añejo| 13 Their logic is simple. To create a sublime and subtle tequila you must perfect and cherish every aspect of each step along the way: from teh cultivation of the agave plant to the barrels the tequila is aged in. It is not a process that can be performed by machines. Each step requires the skilled and practiced hands of people trained in the art and craft of tequila. This is what sets Tequila Don Julio apart.

DON JULIO 1942| 25 70th year| 15 Real| 50Aged for a minimum of two and a half years in American white-oak barrels, Tequila Don Julio 1942 is a tequila that pays tribute to the year that Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey.

CLASE AZUL reposado| 20Clase Azule tequila is created using only 100% organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agaves. Once harvested, the agaves are cooked in old-fashioned brick ovens for 72 hours. In Santa Maria Canchesda, over 100 artisans dedicate their time to creating each bottle one at a time.

TRES GENERACIONESsilver| 10 reposado| 11 añejo| 12Founded in 1873 by Don Cenobia Sauza, this tequila represents three generations of wisdom, passed down from one to the next and one of their proudest accomplishments. Master Blender hand select the 12 month aged tequila before it can be called Tres Genaraciones.
